Accepted Answer

Not related: You're enjoying your body like most of your peers and this won't cause health problem. Salbutamol is famous for causing tremors like what you describe; maybe 10% of folks get this.  Ask your physician whether there's some other rx you could try, and also whether you might have familial tremor which often shows up at your age (did mom / dad have the shakes like you?).

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Go to the hospital: LuciL you sound seriously dehydrated or perhaps profoundly anemic.  You may have been losing blood from an ovarian cyst or from something else (internal bleeding).  This is a dangerous situation with probably very low blood pressure and you could die or pass out while driving for example, so please drink something salty right now and call 911 or have someone drive you to hospital.

Accepted Answer

Tremors: You need to be evaluated by physician it could be anything ranging from a thyroid problem. If the tremors are persisting I would recommend you going to an emergency room or urgent care

Question 6

i'm having quite heavy tremors in my hands, extreme longterm fatigue that doesn't get better after resting and raynaud's syndrome in my feet for a few weeks. (i have been negatively tested for sleep apnea.?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Neurology Consult: With the symptoms presented and with one's twin sister having a Myasthenia Gravis diagnosis it best to see a Neurology Consult for evaluation, Proper Diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Knowledge keeps changing and there is lots of Hope today where there was in the past.

Question 8

what can be slight tremors in hands?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There are many possible causes including medications, age, caffeine, stress, essential tremor, and Parkinson's disease to name a few. See your primary care physician to have your tremors evaluated. If he/she is concerned, you would be referred to a neurologist. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/tremor.html

Question 9

can a herniated or bulged disk in neck cause tremoring of neck and hands on the side affected?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Compressed nerve roots can cause fasciculations (small spasms) in the muscles controlled by that root, and these could be perceived as tremors.  Also, weakness from root compression can upset the balance of opposing muscles, causing a type of tremor as your brain tries to compensate.  However, if you are having tremors, there are many other possibilities, so you should talk to your doctor.

Question 10

6 yrs ago suddenly got isometric tremors hands and body lifting in gym.  stopped working out.  problem persists. jittery even w/light weight. ?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: I recommend that you be examined by a neurologist to determine whether you have a neuromuscular disorder to account for the tremors. If advisable beta blockers may be prescribed after the assessment.
